Reviews, Licensed & Insured, Warranty and Fast Response With Same/Next Day Service.
If your Samsung washer won’t spin, your dryer won’t heat, your dishwasher won’t drain, or your fridge won’t cool, Barton repairs Samsung appliances across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and Coquitlam.
Our technicians work on Samsung’s full lineup, including Bespoke, Family Hub, FlexWash, StormWash, and standard WW/WF, DV, RF, and DW series models. We stock the OEM parts these repairs actually need, so most jobs are done in a single visit. Every Samsung washer repair, dryer repair, dishwasher repair, and Samsung refrigerator repair we complete comes with upfront pricing before any work starts and a written warranty on parts and labor.
As a general rule, if the repair cost is under about half of what a comparable new unit would cost and the appliance isn’t near the end of its expected lifespan, repair is almost always the better value, especially for a control board, pump, or door latch issue on an otherwise healthy machine.
If you’re looking at a compressor failure on an older refrigerator, or a control board replacement on a washer that’s already had two or three other repairs, replacement may make more financial sense. Our technicians will walk you through the actual numbers for your specific model before you decide, rather than pushing one option over the other.

Samsung’s error codes vary by model and by year, so the table below covers the codes we see most often on service calls. Always check your specific model’s manual before assuming a code applies exactly as described. If you’re not sure, call the team at Barton Appliance Repair and we’ll confirm it on-site.
| Code | What It Usually Means | Typical Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 4E / 4C | Water not filling properly (supply issue) | Check taps are fully open, clear kinked hoses, clean inlet filter screens |
| 5E / 5C | Not draining | Clear the drain hose and pump filter of clogs or lint |
| UE / DC | Unbalanced load | Redistribute the load; if it persists on a balanced load, suspension components may need replacing |
| Sud / SUd | Excess suds detected | Switch to HE detergent and reduce the amount used |
| dE / dC | Door/lid not detected as closed | Check for obstructions in the door seal; the door lock assembly may need replacing |
| Code | What It Usually Means | Typical Fix |
|---|---|---|
| HE / HC | Overheating or heating fault | Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct immediately; if it persists, the heating element or thermal fuse likely needs replacing |
| tS / tO / tE | Temperature sensor fault | Usually needs a technician to test and replace the thermistor |
| dE / dC | Door not detected as closed | Check the door strike and latch alignment |
| AC / Et / AE | Internal components not communicating | Power down for 60 seconds and restart; a persistent code usually means a control board issue |
| E3 / 3E | Airflow or exhaust vent restriction | Clean and inspect the full exhaust run for blockages |
| Code | What It Usually Means | Typical Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 4C | Water supply issue | Check water pressure and supply connection; avoid restrictive FloodSafe hoses |
| 5C / 5E | Draining issue | Inspect and clean the drain hose, filter, and sump |
| 3C | Pump fault | Usually needs professional diagnosis — the circulation or drain pump has failed |
| LC / LE | Leak detected | Shut off the water supply and power at the breaker, then call for service |
| 9E | Insufficient water in the unit | Empty the dishwasher and run a normal cycle; persistent codes point to a water level sensor issue |
| Code | What It Usually Means | Typical Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 5E / 5C | Defrost sensor fault | Unplug for a few minutes to reset; a recurring code needs sensor replacement |
| 21E / 22E | Evaporator or circulation fan fault | Check for ice buildup around the fan blades; a failed motor needs replacing |
| OF OF / scrolling bars | Cooling Off (demo) mode — not a fault | Exit using the model-specific button combination in your manual (commonly two panel buttons held for 5–8 seconds) |
| PC ER / 41C | Communication error between control boards | Unplug for 5 minutes; a persistent fault usually means a board or wiring harness issue |
